The time is ripe for US businesses to engage more strongly in the economic restructuring of Viet Nam, especially in finance-banking and State-owned enterprise equitization, according to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc held talks with United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres in New York on May 30 (local time), during which the Vietnamese leader highlighted the ties with the global organization.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc visited the Vietnamese permanent representative delegation to the UN and met Vietnamese entrepreneurs and intellectuals on May 29 (local time), as part of his official visit to the US.

Increasing mutual visits at all levels between Viet Nam and the US illustrate growing bilateral ties, Viet Nam’s Ambassador to the US Pham Quang Vinh said on the threshold of an official visit to the US by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
